June 18th: A Message for Jahseh Onfroy
[Intro: News Reporter]
A 20-year-old male
Who was the victim in this case
Was at the store prior to 4 o'clock looking at the inventory
Just before 4 he left the store
Got into his car
As he left the premises he was approached by 2 suspects
Who were both armed in what appears to be at this point an apparent robbery
At least one of the suspects fired the weapon, injuring our victim
Our victim was transported to Broward Health North
Where he later did die

P. Soul on the track
[Verse 1: Hennie Damé]
Yea
My brain is foggy and clouded, I got a crowded mind
A bunch of shit I would say, but soundin’ out of line
My mother said don't meet your hero, I guess some good advice
Ignore her, I'm tryin I don’t rely on not meeting mine
The date was June 18th I found out at 5
There's a young legend named triple X and he's bound to die
In his home town from pussies that was juggin' and jivin'
He's shopping for bikes, and then hear 3 shots in the spine and
Then the press only talk bout his improper shit
But the problem is, they ain't listin' the accomplishments
Or the positives
Like him helping out the project kids
So the final product is
Ill responses deposited
All in the minds of the elders and youth
Tragic stories being shared of the alleged abuse
Who’s to judge and say that his ex was tellin the truth?
Only he, and GOD, is there perfection in you?
Is there perfection in you?
[Bridge: News Reporter 2]
Yea and right there, flash bangs, tear gas, police in riot gear faced off with that crowd
Blocking the street, officers had to move in and move them all back off of Melrose Avenue
The group began gathering around 8PM to remember the 20-year-old rapper, named ’XXXTentacion', who was shot and killed Monday in Florida, in an apparent robbery
[Verse 2: Hennie Damé]
Its a young man shot in cold blood and it’s fuckin' sickenin'
The fact that they would rather be sendin pictures of victims
For the clout, retweets, favorites, Instagram likes
Instead of tryna focus on saving the man's life
And all the bloggers call him a monster when they would write
Then call him goner, gain stronger sponsors off him in spite
He spent time evolvin to try and conquer his mind
Now he’s a father, what's real will prosper, now is that right?
So tell me now what is the price of the life of a man?
A Louis bag, a couple diamonds, excitement? Instead
You get caught up on some indictments on life from the feds
And never think about the wrongs he was righting instead
Like his fan base with suicidal tendencies
Acts of gun shots, drugs popped been killin these
Beautiful minds, one of a kind, honestly
But you were too caught up in you street-life animosity
[Outro: XXXTentacion]
You are the 'actor' in your own movie, you know what I'm saying?
And you are the person you desire to be
Like it's better not to be a crazy motherfucker, it's not
Cause I-I've been-I've went through that
I want-there was a point where I wanted to be the villain and it's not fun bro
It's not fun, people turn-like-it's not, it does't attract what you truly want
